Eyes on with the Optoma HD28HDR projector
A bit of HDR, a lot of brightness.
Optoma HD28HDR
Optoma's HD28HDR is a small, bright projector with an uncommon, for this price range, feature: HDR-compatibility.
Mini-zoom
The 28HDR has a rather meager 1.1x zoom, and no lens shift.
Vents
Like most small projectors, it's a big part of the design to get the heat from the lamp out of the case as quickly as possible.
Topside buttons
In a pinch you can control the projector from the top buttons.
Manual
Manual zoom and focus.
Inputs
Two HDMI inputs. Only one is HDMI 2.0 and capable of handling 4K60 and HDR, which is fine.
Feet
Only two of the three feet are adjustable, which is surprisingly common.
Remote
The remote is exceptionally bright, and has buttons for inputs not found on the 28HDR.
